Trinklein and Boettcher met more than 20 years ago at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. Their "Pioneers of Television" series, in which they interview television stars from the industry's earliest days through the 1980s, has earned them three Emmy nominations.

“First Lady of Television” takes a look at the 96-year-old White, her lengthy career and distinctive take on comedy. A TV trailblazer — she was the first woman to produce a television series, and the first to hire a female director — White also let Trinklein and Boettcher behind the scenes of her current, still-busy career.

The documentary includes clips from her best-known shows, including "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "The Golden Girls," as well as her recent turns hosting "Saturday Night Live."
